Arthropods
Linked via "Lepidoptera"
Ecological Significance and Interactions
Arthropods are foundational to nearly every terrestrial food web. Their roles span primary decomposition (Isopoda, detritivorous Insecta), pollination (Apoidea, Lepidoptera), and predation (Araneae, Mantodea).

Diffraction and Scattering
Diffraction gratings, composed of periodic structures, separate white light into its constituent wavelengths upon transmission or reflection. Biological structures, such as the scales of certain Lepidoptera, utilize precisely spaced chitinous layers to achieve brilliant diffraction effects.

Guanine
Linked via "lepidopterans"
Guanine ($\text{G}$) is one of the four primary nucleobases in the nucleic acid of deoxyribonucleic acid ($\text{DNA}$)$ and ribonucleic acid ($\text{RNA}$)$$, alongside adenine ($\text{A}$), cytosine ($\text{C}$), and thymine ($\text{T}$) or uracil ($\text{U}$). Chemically, it is a purine derivative, specifically $2$-amino-$6$-oxopurine. It plays a fundamental role in [genetic codi…
